An Arkansas tourist suffered major injuries Friday afternoon after being struck by a car that veered into her while she used the Homer Spit bike and pedestrian trail.
Lily Casteel, 21, had to be transported by a Medevac aircraft to an Anchorage hospital. According to Homer Police Lt. Ryan Browning, Casteel is in stable condition.
In a press release posted on the Homer Police Facebook page and a phone interview with Browning, police said that at about 4:40 p.m. June 30, Tyler Brewer-Cote, 18, of Homer drove outbound on the Spit near Mile 2 when he went into the oncoming lane and the bike path and his car hit Casteel.
The crash closed or delayed traffic until about 9:30 p.m.
No arrests have been made or charges filed, and an investigation is ongoing, Browning said.
